Chapter 7 - p39

A new friend!

I've got 300 books in the mail so far, Kickstarter pledgers. Not too shabby, I think. I need a backrub.

  12. Murkoph! Yesss, I love how he's now a canon part of the comic universe, I loved the little mini-comic you did of him ages ago on deviantArt. This should be interesting. :D
    Humming-fly on
  13. Huh. For some reason I didn't think Murkoph would be making an appearance in Unsounded. This'll be interesting.

  14. Duuuude. I wasn't expecting to see him so soon! Awesome. Yesss.

  15. I'VE BEEN WAITING (i'm so happy)

  16. DON'T LET HIM OUT SETTE

  17. Mur...koph... O_O Sette RUN
    E on
  18. Ah HAH! So it WAS in fact just a dirty old man with too many bandages. Your attack zombie is in another disfigured castle, sorry Sette-o.
    Sky on
  19. Smoke and titties .... I trade smoke for more titties please.
    Kurogane on
  20. I...would leave soon. Very soon. But this only begs more questions. If this is in Duane's head, a hallucination, then what the frack is Murkoph doing there? If it's a parallel dimension, then afkensshwajkebfgs mind rape. I'm opting for the parallel dimension idea. Murkoph can't be in Duane's head. That would make him a part of Duane, and that can't be possible. R-right? Okay now I'm picturing Murkoph as a catalyst for Duane's slow disintegration. Why mind?! Why you plague me with more questions I know Ashley won't answer?!

  21. HOLY PANTS
    Gnasher on
  22. I don't know how to properly express my enthusiasm for this new twist, so... YAY :D
    Tachyon on
  23. All's I know is that this is Murkoph and he was in something that once was on dA. Ah, it's fun to be clueless.
    somebloke on
  24. @somebloke He was pretty bad news then. I imagine he's bad news now as well. I'd like to hope he stays on this side of the shadow, but I doubt that'll be the case.

  25. Miss Cope, you need a backrub, I'll be happy to oblige the next time... oh, wait, that's unlikely. Er, here's a digital backrub? Slightly less effectual, but all I can offer.
    Knucklekraken on
  26. So, this 'Murkoph' fellow - was that also him on chapter 1, page 16?
    Terry on
  27. It's.... INNER DUANE
    Squid on
  28. AWWWW SHIIIIIT. I was having a conversation with someone a while back about whether Murk would make an appearance. Let me just say: Kuh-kuh-kuh-YYYYEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
    Mcferocious on
  29. Finally. I was anticipating his arrival. And it does not disappoint. I’m exited to see how the readers who don’t know him will like him. But also if and how we, who only know bits and pieces (no pun intended), will change our minds regarding him.
    jardindelanuit on
  30. @Terry: no, definitely not. That was just a random Aldish soldier. Murkoph is some uncontrollable zombie who does whatever he wants, and what he wants to do is murder stuff while waxing pseudo-philosophically about how he has found true freedom in becoming life's worst nightmare or something. To be honest, I'd rather Sette would run away from that dude and not drag him back to the physical world.
    someone on
  31. @Mcferocious xD ROCKSO! I feel like my brain just got trolled in a totally awesome way. Yeah, I had no idea who Murkoph was, but a quick creep around Ashley's DA makes me also excited for this. If you're reading the comments and wondering why everyone is so excited/apparently already knows who this new guy is, google search.
    Jordan on
  32. YEAH!
    Linconclusive on
  33. I was really hoping it was the Aldish soldier from chapter one. v____v BUT MURKOPH IS MORE EXCITING.
    Rachel on
  34. Murkoph? Who´s that? And can somebody gimme a link to his story please? Pretty please?
    James Rye on
  35. @terry & someone: I imagined the guy on 1:16 was supposed to be a memory of Alive!Duane, showing why Duane has PTSD
    sigmir on
  36. I RECOGNIZE THAT HAIR!! :O TOTALLY UNEXPECTED, wow props Ashley - you're too good. For anyone uninitiated, check out her devART or even old Formsprings. Or for more fun, don't and have all the surprises.
    Hat on
  37. Murkoph? What are you doing in Duane's head?
    RubyMouse on
  38. I like him! Go for it Sette, he seems legit!
    theRx on
  39. @Ashley: Is it okay to have at the end of your fic some author notes? To thank some people for helping, maybe giving a short explanation why i wrote this fic that way or about the theme? Or is that not okay?
    James Rye on
  40. @James: That's absolutely okay. Include whatever info you like.
    Ashley on
  41. *back rub*
    Yeah, I gotta say it to: Murkoph! @James Rye: I think people mean this story: http://ashleycope.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d1lxqny It's not Unsounded Canon, obviously.
    Reed on
  42. OH MY GOD IT'S MURKOPH!!! I didn't think we'd get to him so soon!
    gahitsu on
  43. so, where can one read these story contestants? and I sorta feel like I should know who this guy is, though I haven't a clue...
    Me on
  44. @James Rye: Murkoph is the crazy zombie who stars in these pages: http://ashleycope.deviantart.com/art/The-Back-of-the-Plague-1-5-97312318 http://ashleycope.deviantart.com/art/The-Back-of-the-Plague-6-10-97312508 http://ashleycope.deviantart.com/art/The-Back-of-the-Plague-11-15-97312747 http://ashleycope.deviantart.com/art/Murkoph-meets-Bastion-1-of-3-21145792 http://ashleycope.deviantart.com/art/Murkoph-meets-Bastion-2-of-3-21145904 http://ashleycope.deviantart.com/art/Murkoph-meets-Bastion-3-of-3-21146113

  45. Theory: Inside Duane's shadow is essentially like being inside a soul, in this case Duane's soul. Everything in there is some sort of reflection or symbol or exaggeration of how Duane sees himself and his own body. It's a pocket dimension, to which real people can go to. I have a feeling that Duane had an epic battle with this Murkoph and banished him there.
    Daughter Of Yahweh on
  46. I had no clue that Murkoph was a character in the same canon/continuity as Duane and co., I'd always been thinking he was just his own... thing. HOT DAMN THIS IS EXCITING LET'S SEE WHAT COMES OF THIS
    Rabbit on
  47. DISCLAIMER: Nothing on dA or in the comic linked up there is Unsounded canon. Someone else said it, I am confirming. Nothing is canon that does not appear in Unsounded itself, in the wiki, or in an explicitly connected prose story by me. Thank you, drive through :3
    Ashley on
  48. @Ashley/Reed/someone: Thanks.^^
    James Rye on
  49. Someone: thanks for the links. Hmm, if that is Murkoph it's going to be very, very intersting. Hope the rat is still around. :) Ashely: backrub and great job. Any chance of getting a book if you missed the Kickstarter?
    Minky on
  50. Did anyone else notice that on panel 3 Murkoph goes for the grope?
    Shaun on
  51. No titties. No smokes. Truly this us hell.
    Person on
  52. ...oooooookaaaay, after coming back today to reread the page, because I can, and seeing all this... "Murkoph" business, I went to go look. First off, I started liking you before I knew Unsounded existed--I favorited your "The East Wing" aaaages ago. Second... I am not officially worried about this new development. RUN SETTE RUN.
    DiardanRose on
  53. so, I just realised, the thing the guy's trapped in is a HAND. A giant, awful HAND.
    mpsingleton on
  54. Who is Murkoph? I have never heard of him, so would someone please be so kind as to forgive my ineptitude and explain? Please?
    TheDapperNarwhal on
  55. EeEeEeEeEeh!!! OMGURD, he looks even more AWESHOME in color!!! Love love love love LOVE his eyes! He's going to blow Sette's mind - he talks non-stop like Duane, but all crude and drawling like the people she's used to being around. I can't wait for him to say a nasty, vulgar word she doesn't know but can figure out from other nasty vulgar words she does know.
    NoniKi on
  56. @ Dapper: http://ashleycope.deviantart.com/art/The-Back-of-the-Plague-1-5-97312318 There ya go.
    NoniKi on
  57. OMG MUUURK!!!?!! After all this time he is finally here..... D: FINALLY!!!!
    maki on
  58. Oh, God. .____. Murkoph. Run away, Sette! ~
    chesterson. on
  59. @_@ I recognize that eyeball. It's the zombie I thought it was when I saw Duane was a zombie, but wasn't THAT zombie. .. I love that you have enough zombie characters that I can occasionally forget who's who.
    redsixwing on
  60. Okay, have send the finished version of my contest entry, hope you got it and that it made it in time. How many entries do you have in total now? I knew it was eleven before you decided on the 8th February as deadline.

    Ashley on
